smallvpt

smallvpt is a small volumetric path tracer written in 150 lines of code, it is an extension of smallpt, which is a tiny path tracer written by Kevin Beason.

It currently includes basic volumetric light transport supporting multiple scattering and homogeneous media. The medium is defined as a sphere surrounding the scene, with parameters sigma_s and sigma_a to control the scattering and absorption of light.
